This is beautiful! I love how the stain looks on the chair and the sweet bird an painting are wonderful. I have a bench I have been figuring out what to do with and I think I might try the paint and stain thing:) Thanks for sharing you creativity!

That's so cute Deb. You have such an eye for what will look good on a piece of furniture. You said you applied a polyacrylic sealer. Do you prefer the brush-on kind? Or a wipe on? Also, in the last picture, I counted several pieces you did that I remember reading about. I was just wondering...did you paint all ten pieces in that corner? I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Have a great day!
